Popis: | To improve the electrical performance of thin-film transistors with an atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 dielectric/InOx channel, O2 plasma surface treatments of the InOx back channel are explored in comparison with thermal annealing. It is demonstrated that the O2 plasma treatment can enhance the device performance much more efficiently than thermal annealing, exhibiting an extremely low-thermal budget. Furthermore, it is revealed that the plasma treatment at a higher temperature can improve the device performance much faster than that at a lower temperature. For a 4 min O2plasma treatment at 200 °C, superior electrical characteristics are achieved, such as a field-effect mobility of 11 cm2V−1s−1, a threshold voltage of 0.9 V, a subthreshold swing of 0.38 V/dec, and good gate bias stress stabilities. This is ascribed to faster passivation of oxygen vacancies, removal of more C residues, and weaker surface damage and smaller surface roughness of the InOx back channel in comparison with long plasma treatments at lower temperatures. |
